He intended it for practical, everyday use.
Explanation:
Benjamin Franklin was a great writer and liked to leave his works in clear language and accessible to all who were interested. Because of this he compiled his "wit and wisdom" in the form of an almanac so that his work would have a practical and common use in people's daily lives.
An almanac is a booklet or book that, in addition to the calendar of the year, contains several useful pointers, poetry, literary passages, anecdotes, curiosities, etc.
